(a) Time millisecondsToRun:[50000 timesRepeat: [1 at 1]]  ->  12

then I commentet the primitive call to see the diffirence in Number>>@
and I saw no difference...
so I put a self halt in @

and the method isn't stopped when I redo (a).

but if I do that in a worspace:

|a|
a := 1. self halt.
Time millisecondsToRun:[50000 timesRepeat: [1@(a+1)]].

It stops and then the halt in #@ works ok ...

any idea of what I did wrong ?

Thanks
